An account of the creative exile of Mirentxu Loyarte, one of those brave, unknown pioneers of European cinema, examining her memory and work; the search for a cinematographic treasure made of flesh and bone…

Non-fiction short film about the fragility of memory and the places that human beings create to safeguard it. People disappear, like the buildings they lived in, the places where they worked and were happy. Those faces and those lives were once part of the written memory, a memory that will disappear because nothing is forever. What the water brings, the water takes away.
